Alternative FIN AAR

[linque]

I try to write so you understand, but my english writing skill really sucks.
----------------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium / Medium
I haven't ever used any cheats and i don't know who to make own events.
Should be 1.2 and DAIM(was drunk when i installed them)
Starting year:1936
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Shadow president Linque the First gets the control of Finland. Fistly he start industrial revelution so there may be some day more than one tech team. He cheers when notices tham huge industrial capacity of Finland that can produce one factory.
This is going to last long time.

Some idealotic politician enters Finland and i let him so i can get Dictatorship and now the real fun begins. A start licking germans ass and influesing them. I buy money from USA and at december -36 there are secret meeting in berlin with mannerheim and hitler attending in. Deal is made and so is Axis. Currently low on members, only finland and German but it's a start.

Continuing building industry and few cannons for my troops. Mr. Adolf asks my help and so i start to plan invade poland. in beginning i start to produce my first transport "kauppalaivasto". on Summer -38 Finnish elite division is at strike distance of Danzig.

Danzig is asked and denied. Three major powers strike(one is still growing) at once and Polish are in despair. My infantry firstly liberates Danzig to it's rightful owner, Germany. Battle razes hot and it's still going when Mannerheim And Adolf strike a deal of Operation "Liberation". Finland sends troops to help axis campaings and germany sends more thouse really nice blue prints to Finland.

I have currently base IC 18 and 3 factories coming so i have to wait for start of army building so i could have 2 tech teams to use blue prints.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Thats where i left my game yesterday. If you understand and wanna know how this is going to end i can write it later when i have played little more.

If you wonder about alliance, it's explaned in DD forums on tread finnish/german alliance -36...

[lifeless]

[cloneof]

Suurelle suomelle! (Finnish, meaning "For the Great Finland!").

[KanaX]

You don't see many finnish AAR's, keep it up!

[linque]

sorry about delay, i wondered three huors why my saves aren't working until i found out that there is 12.0 kt free space.

More material coming tomorrow, i did have to load that -36 save again. But trying to imitate the start.

Quiet day at work today so i try to translate as much as i can today about that german big story. There is also german/Finland alliance and add thouse url tags there. Pics coming to this one too later.

Thanks for support

Add on: I put link to how that alliance made here. Few people in Finland thought that i cheated so i made thread of it.

[Raze]

No worries. Let's keep going...

[linque]

I noticed that many of you writer tell your plans in advence so i write little reason and my plans+history why i play this alternative finnish game.

I readed wiki about finnish tactics and what you can do with it and that country just seemed boring(even that i'm finnish dude with self tought english skill, learned germany in school, i don't understand it much anymore).
My first plan was to try to win Winter War, maeby it can't be won, but try anyway. After that idealistic politic my plans changed. I desided to play to play what if... Game. To show that Wiki that there is more in Finland that meats the eye.

Before lost of saves i noticed that i can't get polish provinces, but what about belgian provinces or netherlands, if i capture capital what i could buy with those resourses. If germany DoW:s norway and danmark, i could attack norway from lapland and with my one transport i could maeby attack with one marine to northers danmark provinses to get naval base for my later Finnish sealion(as i noticed in my german game that mongolia was anexed and shared with japanise).
Can Finnish troops take over moscov. With german blue prints and my start to play finland as germany, industry building i planning to improve troops later build quite much so i don't have to use my few IC to constant supply use.
My previous save was 5.dec.-39 and there was no winter war. i have time(or so i usualy think)

I Don't know how to insert pics in post and if i know i would't. They may be quite annoing for slower connection and i send them only as extra spice and to proof what you can load if you want(but i really like thouse other AAR what are better made, i don't have slower connection at work). I try to concentrate in the story.

Anyway i think i have all ready proven to wiki that there is more in Finland that meats the eye.

add on. Or maybe i will add pics someday and try to improve stories longer. I truly like those few that i looked this far.

adding pictures from happenings. Editing story little later(at work)

[linque]

There was two chance when i have to do everything again. I didn’t build artillery and I sended 2 elite finnish divisions to Poland to fight against polish tyrant.

There isn’t much of happenings in early years finland, except strip poker with mannerheim and Hitler attending to. When Hitler was losing his last pants, he asked would mannerheim prefer to take military control over germany(he really didn’t like to show his private parts)

Answer was sharp “No!”

Conclusion: Not very Big

Polish armies where exterminated by axis(Finland, Slovakia and Germany) and Russians. my first two elite divisions moved in attack distance of denmank and netherland. there will be more troops coming. I even tried to out run German panzer in attack to Warsaw, but Finnish athletics arent so good. Soon I have new tries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This time there was winter war and I don’t have any chance in battle. I cheated a bit and tried to reload autosave. Still winter war.

Conclusion: There may be little bug. If you play strait to end of -39 no winter war. If you load save there is winter war. I’m giving Soviets what they want if that happens when I continue today. My armies would be dead in week if I try to fight against them. I will lose my second research team for few months, sniff. I always tough that you need 21 base IC for second, but 20 seemed to be enough.

I don’t have internet at home so my next action report will arraive at Monday. Then we know is Finland?
A)Major player
B)Dead
C)Something else

I have read too much thouse mad profet Blue Emu’s ravings.

these forums are so big so I don’t yet know right place to post them. But there is two possible AAR’s that I might like to read.

Difficulty level: Nightmare
Play as germany for (thouse who really know how to play with it). Before war chance to someone else(or try to fight Ultra germany as polish, French and then Soviets). Can ultra germany be defeated?

Fasist Canada, backstabber of allies.
Build strong Canada, Take all blue prints. leave allies before war, invade USA and why not to share rest of the world with Germany by joining Axis.

If there is already those AAR’s give me a link.

[lifeless]

heres a thread about canada invading the us..not sure if its fascist tho..

Prologue

There were few suprise to me in this long and long war. Most of them nasty, but this is my first game that I play as minor nation.. I usually play only with germany. I like to have all in one place, it’s easier. Now the Story of Finland continues…….
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Continues from previous

Time line late –39 till -43

Brittish invasion was the last pit that spoiled my blood. Elimination was slow but only real solution as brittish tank were slowly hunted across finnish soil. There were even more brits in tornio and again they slowly were eliminated.

After that I could start my axis dutch campaing and axis norway strait after that. 3 Divisions finnish troops that I have sended fought hard as hell against those unbelievers of axis. And now there was even greater challenge. The Benelux/french campaing.

Axis tanks mashed bodies and finnish bullets found their targets as the AXIS advances. There werent enough big graveyard for those coffins that were crafted that summer.

The lands of unbelivers where conquered and finnish divisions returned home.

The finland was gearing up for war, but still I wasn’t enough fast to prepare for next outcome. German DoW:ed soviet union. Horribly red machine was invading finnish soil. Joensuu lost in moments.

Field marshall Mannerheim commanded counter attacks, but there were too many of them and I found my first nasty suprise. There were no mans left to reinforce my armies. It seemed thet there were no future to this great country.

With the help off german troops attacking from finnish soil, because they were not have much success themselves in eastern front the break trough was made. Now the finnish ski infantry was striking as much as they could.

“Blood” they screamed. “Karjala takaisin” they screamed. Invaders were resistant, but they were no match for next axis assault. Man were dying, but without remorse, without mercy the Finnish liberated soviet provinces from their oppressors.

There still is songs about child soldiers that tried to outrun finnish bullets. There is still poets from the genocide that it was. No surrender, no retreat. Without full organisation and not enough replacements Finnish elite slayers killed everything that was standing against them.

They even tried to outrun german panzers in moscow, but there were too many bolsheviks to get any good effect. So moscow wasn’t our thing. Then we go to sveldlovsk.

Fast finnish infantry started to advance faster than soviets could put any real resistance. Now they were on their own element. Even German Panzers were leaving behing. There was no one enough strong to prevent our advance. Out numbered, out gunned we were coming.

Looking my resourses I see thet I have captured some resourses from red machine. I don’t know why I can't buy german panzers but I buy 2 motorised and one mechanised division to reinforce my attacks(still coming, and I didn’t use any exploit to use those resourse’s I have. Giving germany what they need mostly. Rare materials and oil, cos’ if they fall, I fall).

There is still no new troops coming. There isn’t enough men even to reinforce my own divisions. That over 13% dissent that I have’ed at start of war is almost gone, but now the war is starting to feel warm again. Russians try to recapture sverlovsk from me without success. German troops are coming behind and they may come in time to help as finnish troops in command of me and mannerheim are sverlovsk and surrounding provinces .

Continues……
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Epiloque

I have no knowledge how everything works, but it seems that If you are attacking from allied soil a nearest allied get that province. I tried to outrun germans in french without success, but in dutch provinces I did notice that I didn’t have them even when I conquered them. Also the initial assault of germar troops in finnish soil was giving me that province. After that all provinces where conquered by me. Thank you germany for sortavala.

After weekend I had 400 mgt of pics. I don’t think if I learn how to put theme here or in imageshank would greet me warmly, so in my netx post has top ten of them. I still have to choose them.

My next story will be improved with stories and stuff,(I haven’t written English in long times) but you have to wait till this one end. Soon there will be: Operation Nightmare

yea hoi2 works like that, if you attack from an allies prov, the allies get the land even if you did all the fighting

[linque]

Story continuing from previous to -44 Fall

Lappland group was waiting under the snowy trees. They could hear the approaching T-34 tanks. With a sneaky try they tried to ambush them, but enemy intelligence was too good. Even then tanks could do nothing cos’ there was two sissidivisions coming from behind. Tanks were lucky, there was survivors.

Finaly Mannerheim had the good news he was been waiting for “Germans where here”. Guerilla warfare was going quite well, but he had no illusions which one had more divisions. Finland or Soviet Union?

Shadow president linque of Finland was alone when SUPO brought him good news from eastern front. It was time to push little more.
Weeks later he was found in floor weeping his ass off. Worst scenario was happened. The thing he thought would now be impossible. The bitter peace.
After growing his nerves back. Linque desided that he would not hold grudge against soviets. He even builded nice picnic camps to help new immigrants to get food in those new 6-8 provinces. This was far from over he thought as he tossed darts in Hitler’s picture at wall.

Now it was time to rebuild our forces and with lucky event which gave 30 manpower I was quite fast too. And soon the Finland was gearing up for war again.

In meanwhile on Norway captain Martinez was quite happy that almost all the resistance was whipped out. Only one german division was sitting on top of that mountain ahead. As new troops where coming. It was just matter of time before they fall.
Artillery fire and screams of dying where filling the air. Burned bodies flying and organization failing.
Martinez yells “What is this they cant counter attack, there is too few of them.”
Some soldier is running toward him and he yells back “It’s not germans, it’s ..” and his body is torn apart.
With cool nerves Martinez turns his gaze in to near woods, there is something moving. Camouflaged soldiers seems to appear from no where. He curses as he recognize the in comers. “Where did those fucking Fins arrive.” was he’s last thought when bullet pierce his head.

They came for target practice, they came to test their skill. The invaders weren’t so lucky, there were no survivors this time.

And the shadow president of Finland was slowly turning his head toward next target. War was coming…..

Continues…….

[JMJ]

This is the most successful Finland AAR I have ever seen.
Curse those Germans for taking land you conquered!

[linque]

Curse them, but there is still nine years left. I add little info from FIN army. More info or accurate later.

12 -43 infantry 3 with improved artillery
14 -43 Mountaineers (sissi, ski infantry) half with improved artillery
4 CAS(what its before turbojet, advanced?)
2 interceptors(what its before turbojet, advanced?)
1 HQ -43(three divisions attached all four AA prikade)
2 Garrison -43 both with police
2 motorised(old tech type II)
1 mechanised(old tech type II)
1 transport

Most of land troops with one star of experience. Airplanes have more.

And little research info
-46 land doctrine left. Other researched.
-air doctrines have night mission CAS tech.
Small arms assembly line(blue prints for others)
First secret weapon +5% research tech done(electronic computer?)
No naval research

can't remember rest of details but infantry tech can be noticed from above.

Also there is quite skill rises with commanding officers. Some have reached max level already(over 100xp)

Small but vicios army is on the march soon again

Veldmaarschalk teached me how to add pics from imageshank. I bow to him. Rest of story will have pics.

[Razor]

He even builded nice picnic camps to help new immigrants to get food in those new 6-8 provinces. This was far from over he thought as he tossed darts in Hitler’s picture at wall.

LOL. This is good

[linque]

I have been few days sick so i couldn't add here anything. But it gived me time to improve the story. As it will be done quite differend way, like a dark dream. I shall make a new tread from next finnish years. First two chapters are coming to day and next ones will be here at monday.
